Compounded tirz pricing varies by provider - the $160 range is realistic but cost per week depends on concentration and dose. Pharmacy route is pricier but has quality verification.

Oral sema has almost no bioavailability - most never makes it into circulation. Injected is entirely different.

Progressive resistance training added early makes a real difference - the muscle growth underneath tightens the surface more than time alone.

Your a1c jump (7.8 to 5.1 in 5 months) is really solid, plus 19lbs is solid progress. What you're describing at 10mg is common—appetite suppression gets so strong eating feels like nothing. You shouldn't dread meals. Talk to your doctor about dropping back to 7.5mg.

800 calories is way too low and risky. be careful your body doesn't shut down on you. jumped straight to some peptides without building up first and it was rough.

I agree with you I'm curious too, FoodBabe. What did you eat while on the meds? Did you follow a special diet?

Is that 0.7kg for the whole month or average per week? Can't quite see a plateau on your chart. Sometimes bodies just need a break after losing steady for ages. Check your TDEE - you might be underfueling or overfueling now that you've lost the weight. Also check if your measurements are still...

Wow, you ladies are turning into some baddies!!

Vendor reviews, lab testing, shipping, how quick they respond. Every company has an off day but I look at the whole picture over time.

🎉🎉🎉👍🍀🍀🍀 FoodBabe I'm planning on staying on a very low dose weekly to maintain. I've been yo-yo dieting for decades! If something better comes along, I'm open to it. Meanwhile, I'll pay out-of-pocket as long as I can afford it. Worth it to me. I don't want to spend the rest of my life...

That's amazing! It really highlights how different everyone's body is. I'm glad I found a dose that worked for me without tons of side effects.

For me, the biggest thing was that I could control my appetite and I had way less food noise. This started after using sema.

Everyone's body reacts differently. I responded really well and dropped 72 pounds, never exceeding 0.75mg. Others don’t lose anything until 1mg.

Don't drop the creatine. It's solid if you're lifting regularly. Yeah it adds a bit of water weight, but that's not the same as fat. You want to lose fat, not just hit a lower number on the scale.

I just say 'Zepbound' when people ask - shuts down the 'cheating' comments real quick. For most people I mention compound pharmacy. If they're genuinely interested I point them here. Close family who want it? I give them some of my supply and show them how to inject.

That's a weird finding though. First puncture shouldn't be the only thing that matters for 3-4 months. Makes you wonder if equipment got recalibrated or different techs handled samples between those dates. Hard to say without the full methodology.

switched from wegovy 0.5mg to grey market 10mg vials. medication itself? no difference at all. still getting the appetite control and losing weight, just way cheaper. prepping the pen yourself is the trade-off—calculating your own doses, but if you do the math twice, honestly 99% of people are fine.

we tuck reconstituted vials in a hydrapeak in the freezer—good for years. saw an interview with someone who tested a 10-year-old peptide from a garage with zero degradation. so maybe refrigeration isn't even necessary? do what makes you comfortable.

I'm finding that I HAVE to work out now that I'm on a GLP-1. Otherwise, I just stall. It's a new world!

Plateaus are normal! Try switching up your exercise routine or tweaking your diet a bit. Our bodies adapt, so you need to keep it guessing. Also, make sure you're getting enough sleep and managing stress. Those things can stall progress, too.
